The Sweboz

[Unferth of Gergovia]

Hey everybody! My computer got fried and but Im back in the game now and I have been playing as the Sweboz...I never get the reforms though? I may have asked this in an older post but does anyone know how to change the requirements for the reforms including the Romani. I know people freak sometimes when someone talks about changing stuff like that but I just dont have the time to wait 3 weeks to get the reforms...and I could use some German Naked Fanatics and some heavy Cavalry. Any help would be appreciated

Germ,an naked fanatics are available from the start, just build a level 3 MIC (native) in gawjam-Silengoz, for the other, you gotta have a bunch of huge market and wait until 190 at least... I don't know how to change the reform requirements... good luck

Thank you so much! I started a new campaign just to see how having those soldiers will impact my gameplay. They are an awesome unit but I wish they had more men attached to it. Same with all the other unique units...they are super expensive and usually have only half the men which sometimes I will choose two groups of decent soldiers over one group of elites with the same upkeep cost. Now I have to play till 190 BC again hahaha once again thank you

There is another way you can get them from the start.

1) Get a good economy going (yes can be done, surprisingly easy avtually if you stay away from having huge standing armies).
2) Wait for Rebels to pop up
3) Send spy and see what they consist off- often there will be heavy inf and you are in luck.
4) Send Diplomat with glib tongue and big purse.

That gave me the various heavy infantry units from 20 years or so into my campaign, Kludda Lugiae as well as I bribed a fullstack of good units over where they are. Then assassinated one of the ÛberFMs leading an ûberstack in Central Europe and bribed that as well (then I had no more money and I had to disband some, but I also had a really hardcore army and I like playing with hardcore units).

I recently got hold of Kallatis - Makedonia took it from the Getai and attacked me in Basternolandam. Bad idea. Kallatis came with a level 5 regional barracks, obligingly built for me by the Getai. This means that I now legally have Skythian Riders, Thracian Elite Infantry and other assorted kickass units at my disposal to accompany my Lugian Swordsmen and Suebi units.

The German Fanatic Spearman have changed my gameplay already and thank you for your help. One other thing...the Jugunthiz are really underated...how many spears do they throw? Is it three or four? Im hoping to get the Heavy Cavalry soon but am worried about being able to afford it...I am however totally sick of waiting for the Stupid Romani Reforms...I dont have much time to play and I would like to get some gameplay time with some Marian or Augustan units...I am lucky to get an hour a day and its kind of depressing haha...but I get to save for my new computer for EB II!!!!!!
